Preparation
Step 1
First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Choose juicy and tasty carrots. Use either sunflower or olive oil. If you don’t want the carrots to be too spicy, replace the hot pepper flakes with paprika or omit them completely. You can substitute regular vinegar with white wine vinegar.
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrots. The weight of the peeled carrots should be 600 g, so take a little extra. Grate them using a special Korean-style grater or cut them into thin strips with a sharp knife.
Step 3
Place the carrot strips in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and gently squeeze to release juice. The juicier the carrot, the more juice it will release. This step also makes the carrot strips softer and more flexible.
Step 4
Add minced garlic to the carrots.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan or small saucepan until bubbles start to form. Be careful not to overheat the oil, or the spices will burn. Add Korean carrot seasoning, ground coriander, and hot (or sweet) pepper flakes. Heat for a few seconds until the spices release their aroma, then remove from heat.
Step 6
Pour the hot oil with spices over the carrots. Add vinegar, black pepper, and sugar. If the carrots are naturally sweet, you may skip the sugar. I added it because I like a more pronounced sweet taste.
Step 7
Mix the carrots well with the spices so everything is evenly distributed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. If you're short on time, let it sit for at least 20 minutes to cool down. Enjoy your meal!
